LJ Says He And Portis Can Be The Next LJ And Priest

PrintAs many of you know, former Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson is in Washington D.C. visiting with the Redskins today. He's got a visit scheduled with the Oakland Raiders this weekend but since he's from the D.C. area, he's hoping the Redskins make him an offer he can't refuse.
In fact, he sounded particularly delighted at the thought of teaming up with Clinton Portis.
"That'd be awesome," Johnson said. "There hasn't been a real good running back tandem in the league [for a while]. There's always been one guy or three guys. It'd be just like how me and Priest Holmes was way back in the day. It'd be nice to be able to play aside somebody like that."
Somehow I doubt that.

Oh by "me and preist was way back in the day" does he mean
how Preist made LJ look like a bust? he will be a bust signing…
LJ rode the pine, almost traded/cut, then took over after priest got hurt, and then bitched about money? all the while priest sat back and worked back? i dont remember there being a “2 back system”…
Ahhhhh, just like old times...

2.7 says...
“Can you blow me where the Pampers is?”
FLAGGED!
Coach Vermeil meant ADULT DIAPERS! Nice picture tho’

hahahah
this guy is full of so much shit he needs a plummer…trying to be all PC he whined while he wasnt the starter here…well maybe not whined but had a few run-ins with Vermiel
Great players dont win championships.....Great TEAMS win championships
So if LJ does sign with Washington
should we just refer to LJ and Portis as 3.3?
Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.
I'm sure they could be
If back in the day refers to 2009 when priest was retired and LJ sucked. All he needs is for portis to retire. I don’t have a problem with players who lose their skills and go quietly understanding that they don’t have it anymore, but LJ is really starting to piss me off, retire already!

I hope they give him an assload of money.
I love to see the Redskins do stupid things with cash. I’m sure their QB will love having LJ perform his ole’ blocks in the back field!
LJ and Portis have something in common
they both did not much care for Holmes when he was playing. Remember the WWE like belt that Portis wore while in Denver. Lol, I hope LJ signs with the Redskins because it would make for a good comedy to watch.
omfg
see, the funny part of it is … when he was here, Priest Holmes (when healthy) got all the carries … is that what he’s implying there? Portis gets the carries, gains the yardage, and he sits on the bench with his “whine and cheese” show?
as Bugs would say: whatta maroon!

hi, Mo!

Another great comment brought to you by Larry "2.7" Johnson.
Stay tuned for more well thought out comments by LJ.
"Without me, it's just aweso".- a possible comment made by Jamaal Charles and/or Eric Berry.
I'd like to sort of like one or the other of the two local teams, the Redskins and Ravens...
…but it almost seems like they’re intentionally doing things to ensure that I hate both of them.

The Redskins already have horse face for a coach.
If they get diaper man for a running back I will have no choice but to hate them.
He's only saying all of this crap because he needs a job, and no one wants him
Because if I remember correctly, didn’t he whine all of the time because he had to split carries with Priest, and because he wanted to be the “featured back.?” I’m so glad we got rid of this guy. Vermeil was right about him all along. He needs to take the diapers off.

I hope Shanahan goes for the tri-fecta
and inks up LT too.

Don't you think Shanatan will see right through that BS and be all like:
“Wait… what? You sat behind Holmes until he got injured. You guys didn’t really split carries… and when you did (after Holmes made his “triumphant return”) it was pathetic."
Yeah 2.7… best tandem in the league my ass. Sounds like another underhanded comment towards the Chiefs. Maybe there’s a little bit of jealousy there over Charles and Jones?

WTF is he talking about?! PANTHERS backfield...
Guess LJ doesn’t pay attention to the NFL. DeAngelo Williams and Johnathan Stewart are an exceptional tandem! Both over 1,000 yards in 2009. LJ is a Fn idiot who talks out of his ass!
by Larryemcdaniel on Mar 12, 2010 2:29 PM CST via mobile reply actions
I hope he signs with Oakland
I’d like to watch the Chiefs D shut him down 2x next year and every year after.
Good luck with that LJ
Enjoy running behind a worse line than you had in KC. Who are you going to blame next?
Predictions:
This year will be better
Yep
And LJ is no LJ

Its too bad Smoot isn't still on the team
Cap’n Smoot could rent a boat so LJ can smack his “ladies” up in private.
Didn't he used to complain
about him having to share carries and not starting when Priest was here. Seriously, this quote made me laugh out loud at work. Thank god I wasn’t drinking anything at the time or it would have shot out of my nose. The only way this would be like Priest and him back in the day would be if back then they both sucked and had walkers.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
And that’s all I have to say about that….

Best one-two punch in the league (most priest/lj-like) is.........
Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones.
I don't know
Chris Johnson/LenDale White?
Ryan Succop will be the kicker for the AFC in the 2011 Pro Bowl
LJ is a joke.
If you want to talk about the real tandem from that time its Priest Holmes and T-Rich!
LJ is the joke and the punchline.
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
A legend in his own mind, I guess
Seriously…I’m embarassed as a Chiefs fan, that this guy ever wore our uniform.
Atleast we dumped the trash before he broke Priests record...

Portis better watch out
Next time he dresses up in drag, LJ might mistake him for a woman and spit his gatorade on Portis.
For justice we must go to Don Pioli
haha
I have friends who are HUGE skins’ fans. I would love LJ to join the skins..it would be fun to watch Portis run on the outside to the sideline to gain 3 yards, than to sit down and get oxygen because he is tired of running.
Come in LJ, run up the middle and fall before being touched for a 1.34 yard gain.
Somebody needs to warn the women of DC to stay away from this in da club:

LJ PacMan Ray Lewis and Ben Rothenberger need to hit the bars together
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
I've said this before
I honestly believe LJ has repressed Homosexual issues. It would explain so much
You might be on to something
LJ lives in denial, somebody just needs to let him know that denial is not a river in Egypt.
Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.
Or maybe all those that OBSESS about him long after he’s gone from the team they root for have such issues.
Doubt it.
Dumb-ass is forever, and should made fun of as such.
Is He
Going to make rap songs about Portis as well, what about bitch and moan about not being the starter? Maybe he has grown up……..hahahaha, I had issues even typing that. LJ has a future in politics with his ability to lie with a straight face like that.
lol!
2.7 is off his rocker…
Just like novocaine. give it time; always works..
The greater the fall, the grander the ascention..
Larry Johnson
this guy… It’s impressive how self absorbed this man really is. Signs and doesn’t play with the Bengals(other than .5 a play aginst the Chiefs in which he was jacked about his two yard gain) and now he claiming him and Priest were the best two back tandem in the league? Seriously? He honestly believes he was a contributor when Priest was setting records. I almost feel bad for his dillusional ass. He’ll be 80 and still looking for a new contract to become the league’s 125th ranked player in terms of career rushing yards.

I guess you missed when he started 1 game for Cinn and went for over 100. OK, back to the usual LJ hatred. Don’t let any facts get in your way.
Big deal
Against Cleveland, one of the worst defenses in the league. Hell, Bernard Scott almost ran for 100 in the same game.
Do you know its not polite to make FUN of the dillusionally challenged?
LJ if you want to wear tight fitting underwear and a red cape its perfectly fine!

omg larry johnson..
just stop talking… you and holmes were never a tandem you sat behind him until he got injured… you never even got along with him you can say whatever you want but you sat behind him .. jealous and frustrated and when he got hurt then you came in. and i can think of tons better RB tandems than you and portis… like how about jones and charles
You're a goddamn quarterback! You know what that means? It's the top spot, kid. It's the guy who takes the fall. It's the guy everybody's looking at first - the leader of a team - who will support you when they understand you. Who will break their ribs and their noses and their necks for you, because they believe. 'Cause you make them believe. That's a quarterback.
--- Any given sunday
Cassel can lead us.
seriously a tandem? when was this? it was more of a musical running back by injury for awhile
even derrick blaylock got in on the action
Scott Pioli will find a way to make NT the biggest offseason priority.
KC Will Trade Derrick Johnson
Simple math
Shanahan + running = zone blocking
LJ + zone blocking = 2.7
The studs from the 2010 draft class will be: DT Ndamukong Suh, S Eric Berry, RB C.J. Spiller, RB Jahvid Best, WR Arrelious Benn, WR Golden Tate, WR Mardy Gilyard, OT Charles Brown, CB Kyle Wilson and S Chad Jones
at least LJ said something nice about KC
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
